Ganpati Appearance and Public Reaction
Kaif and Kaushal's appearance at the Ambani residence marked a rare joint public outing since welcoming their son, Vihaan Kaushal, on 7 November 2025, according to Moneycontrol. The couple, who married in December 2021 at Six Senses Fort Barwara in Rajasthan, wore ethnic outfits to the festivities hosted by Nita and Mukesh Ambani, as reported by India Today and Times of India. The appearance triggered online commentary about Kaif's postpartum body, prompting fan defenses on social media; Times of India reported that some fans pointed to her "successful 400-crore business" and career alongside her personal life in pushing back against critics. A separate Times of India report noted actor Hrithik Roshan showed public support by liking a post criticizing the trolling. Times of India's May 2026 report placed the couple's combined wealth, including Kaushal's estimated INR 41 crore fortune, at more than INR 265 crore.
